Site de Pomacle (51) - Chaire de Biotechnologie CentraleSupélec

The Chair of Biotechnology of CentraleSupélec, launched in 2010 and located in the Centre Européen de Biotechnologie et de Bioéconomie (CEBB), has three areas of expertise:

  • Characterization & conversion of lignocellulosics,
  • Biotransformation,
  • Downstream processing.

Backed by the Process Engineering and Materials Laboratory, this chair is a strong link between its head institution – CentraleSupélec – and economic and academic actors; most of the R&D activities are led in regional, national and international collaborative projects. With its training of high-level general engineers, CentraleSupélec has a strong expertise in modeling applied to (bio)process and (bio)materials. Thus, in addition to the experimental approach, the three areas of expertise of the Chair significantly rely on a set of core skills in Modeling, Simulation & Visualization, more particularly oriented towards the modeling of life mechanisms and the up-scaling of processes for the industry.
